A person sees a ball and kicks it, in part because of actions of the nervous system. Using the parts of the nervous system listed below, describe the path of nerve impulses that cause the person to see the ball:

- Brain
- Motor neurons
- Sensory neurons
- Spinal cord

Asked by Kaufman459

Answer (3)

The signal will start from the eyes. The message is carried by sensory neurons to the spinal cord. There, the "impulse" will transfer to motor neurons which will carry it to the brain. So in short:
Sensory neurons --> spinal cord --> motor neurons --> brain

When a person sees a ball, the sensory neurons in the eyes detect the visual information and transmit signals to the brain. The brain processes the signals and sends instructions to the motor neurons, which control the muscles involved in kicking the ball. The motor neurons transmit the nerve impulses to the spinal cord, which then sends the signal to the leg muscles to kick the ball. ;

The process of kicking a ball involves sensory neurons transmitting visual information to the brain, which then sends commands through the spinal cord to motor neurons, resulting in muscle contractions. This sequence allows the person to react quickly and accurately to visual stimuli. Each part of the nervous system plays a crucial role in converting sensory input into motor output.
